We collect reviews from our customers so you can get an honest opinion of what an apartment is really like!

We have just returned from a stay at this apartment and I can truly say it was one of the best experiences. The apartment is beautiful and the views are absolutely amazing! We had a group of 6 adults and two children, there was more than enough space for everyone. The location is perfect with many attractions just on your doorstep or a short metro ride away. As for the hosts I have never dealt with such helpful hosts before, they went out of their way to make our stay as easy as possible. I would highly recommend this apartment and we will be returning for another stay next year! Shaminder Quite, safe for kids , and lovely place to stay with your family.

Shoreline Luxurious apartment with Private Beach Great apartment! Team very quick to respond!

Nice Studio In Down Town Host met me in person even tho my trip got delayed twice and i arrived very late after midnight and I didn’t even have phone service due to a glitch, he contacted me via (Hidden by Airbnb) and provided the location and even met me outside when i arrived and gave me a card and a key, as well as, showed me my particular parking spot in the building’s garage. The view on this particular apartment is very good. Super clean and stylish. Also within walking distance to Dubai mall (7-10 minutes walking) Prime location in downtown. Thanks for the great hospitality, all in all, nothing needs significant improvement.

Luxurious High Floor Duplex 3 Bedroom Apartment Place is just perfect for what we needed. Clean, tidy with all the needed furniture and kitchenware. Too much soap which is always a good thing. In our view it had a bit too much furniture and less of the kitchen items like salt or pepper which I think could have been useful. However there is a Supermarket below and a pharmacy both of which were very useful. Also being part of a Hotel was very handy it offered great restaurants and a bar downstairs for me to spend time away from the kids. About the hosts in short money hungry despite clearly staying that checkout is needed at a later hour they still insisted checkout to be at 12pm unless we pay an amount. You don't experience such a treatment at hotels and to be honest I have not experienced it at other Airbnb locations I have used. The team that delivers the property to you are very professional and helpful. They go through extra length to make sure your stay is comfortable.
